Tributes from around the SEC have been pouring in for boxing legend and sports icon Muhammad Ali.
Kendra Stabler Moyes, the daughter of late Alabama quarterback Kenny Stabler, posted a unique tribute on her Twitter account.
I am so so sad to hear that @MuhammadAli has passed but so grateful that my Dad is greeting him. #RIPALI the great! pic.twitter.com/Xpas4WiNSh

Chris Hale at BamaHammer.com did some digging behind the story of the photo:
I found in the Denver Post a gallery of Ali photos that included the one Moyes tweeted out. According to the caption, it was at a press conference where “Stabler and Ali were among 33 athletes in different fields selected by sportswriters for the third annual Gillette Cavalcade of Champions Awards.”
Ali passed late Friday evening at the age of 74.
